WHAT IS ATTITUDE?
An attitude is a hypothetical construct that represents an individual’s degree of like or dislike for an item.
Attitudes are generally positive or negative views of a person, place, things, or events.
ATTITUDE FORMATION
Most attitudes are the result of either direct experience or observational learning from the environment.
Unlike personality, attitudes are expected to change as a function of experience.
ATTITUDE CHANGE
Attitudes can be changed through persuasion and we should understand attitude change as a response to communication.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Positive attitude is very important to being successful and happy.
POSITIVE THINKING
Positive thinking is about consciously selecting good thoughts and banishing any tendency to dwell on negative things. Through developing positive thinking as an integral part of your life, you open the door to good things happening in your life.
